"We build the geometry directly by thinking about the PATH that our 3D printer takes. There's no intermediate slicing software [to render CAD as "2D" layers]."

"You can start to think about surface textures - like spikes that you can't do with a traditional slicer. Or...here's a path that's a sine wave, but every other layer is rotated. Or...one creature is following THIS path, and the other is chasing it around."

This is #Ukraine 🇺🇦 pictured on top of a map of #Europe. It's the biggest European country, bigger than France. Donbass' territories occupied by Russia are as big as Switzerland.
What is happening now is not a small local conflict, but a hazard for the whole world.

Why does #Ukraine 🇺🇦 matter?

Ok it's time for the #strawhouse thread 🧵. Buildings that are already #climatepositive = directly relieve the atmosphere without calculation tricks over lifetime. Straw is a durable passivhaus insulation wall. A agri residue and almost half of it is carbon.
Show me!
Show me!
26 dwellings, straw insulated social housing in france. Look how the embodied carbon share (tile, metal,...) is used to protect the biomass inside.

North german centre for sustainable construction in Verden, Germany #NZNB. Highest directly plastered straw insulated building finished already in 2014. We prefabricated straw modules on site in what is now my workplace, a former tank service hall where we show how to do it.

I think @TimACG mentions a cross roads in this vidoe, but it might have been YouTube auto-selecting a video after this one.
At the crossroads at Chuch Lawton are 3 Bronze age sites. We're inspired by @BlackdenTrust and the idea of stories, places, boundaries and crossroads...

Been watching season 3 of #TheCrown?
Despite 2000 years of stone construction, #London has no indigenous building stone. Its geology is sand, gravel and clay. Stone has been imported since #Roman times along the #RiverThames to build that amazing city.

To build #Londinium (starting in 47 AD), Romans imported stone from many places in #England and from as far away as #Egypt, #Greece and #Italy. Part of the Roman defensive wall is still visible and many buildings have been uncovered (amphitheatre, forum, bath houses, etc)

Medieval #London had narrow streets and timber-framed, thatch houses so the #GreatFireofLondon destroyed much of it in 1666. Legislation afterward required stone or brick construction to prevent future fires. #Halifax NS passed a similar bylaw in 1857 after several fires.

#Kumharwada in #Dharavi is a Potter’s colony. Abbas bhai said the #British had settled all potters here since 1921.We visited his #pottery workshop&studio yesterday. He and his brother Yusuf bhai are carrying on 1000years old legacy of #potterymaking in the #Indiansubcontinent
They said they’re originally from #Sindh &for generations have only known pottery making!It would interest you to know that this #creative form existed across early #civilisations globally.This particular group of potters can be linked to the #IndusValleyCivilisation &before
They make pots of all sizes mainly for hotels.I’d met him at a #museum I worked in.yesterday some #young #designers got to spend time with themThat’s #knowledgesharing ain’t it?#handmade #mumbai #art #culture #heritage #history #craft #clay #destress #storiesofindia #travelwithme
With my wife, we are building an extremely ecological self-sufficient house (made of straw, wood and earth), while being modern too.
The house is out of the grid for electricity & water, and there is no heating system.
The construction has finally started after 1.5 years.
